TIPS FOR WRITING RADIO, by Paul Burke
Tools of the trade
Where better to start than with some of those things I’d struggle to be without.
I’ve been using a MacBook Pro for almost a year now, and once I started to get the hang of it I have to say that its been a revelation…I’d honestly struggle to go back to a PC now (seems I’m not alone given this sort of market share growth!) The iPod gets a sporadic run out, and no iPhone just yet, my Nokia e65 has withstood quite a battering over the last 12 months and seems to do more or less fine. Airport Express, Airfoil and Spotify make music at home a lot of fun - I’ve been meaning to try hooking the laptop up to the TV for ages now but failed to get round to it.
Camino’s my favourite browser - I find it simple and snappy, though some of the Firefox plug ins sound appealing. On the bookmark bar you’d find the incredible Google Reader, a swedish translation tool, Facebook, a smorgasbord of football and Newcastle United fansites and internal Spotify links. Jaiku, De.licio.us and Pukka are relatively recent additions that I think could hang around for a while.
I heart the following applications: Quiksilver, FlickrUploader, Skitch, Spotify (of course :)), Skype, Adium, Colloquy and iGTD. Parallels lets me sneak back to Windows when I have an Excel itch, though Mac Office 08 could well put paid to that, I’m not really getting too much out of Leopard that I didn’t have before, but thats probably got more to do with laziness than anything else given the critical acclaim it seems to get.
Will be interesting to see what gets added to this little lot throughout 2008, hopefully find a few more cool things and get better at using those I already have!
